…types REST response validation passes today only because typia 9.7.2 emits open object schemas (no additionalProperties: false); the chat message endpoints return fields their response types never declared, which would fail once schemas are closed. - add editedAt/editedBy to the base IMessage type (persisted, client-consumed edit metadata; IEditedMessage already narrows them to required) - type chat.search results as IMessageSearchResult (IMessage + the full-text $meta:textScore relevance score) so the response-only field survives schema closing - stop persisting the transient parseUrls directive onto messages in sendMessage, so it no longer leaks into any message response Adds a closed-schema drift regression spec and a chat.postMessage integration assertion that parseUrls is not echoed back. Closes RocketChat#42086

Learning: For API v1 routes under apps/meteor/server/api/v1, keep item-level response schemas strict by using `$ref`-based schemas for list and messages (and ensure they intentionally mirror the corresponding route contracts, as done in channels.ts). Only use “loose”/non-`$ref` item schemas when the underlying data source is inherently partial (e.g., uploads where `content` can be `null`, or queries like `findUsersOfRoom` with a fixed projection). Do not relax item schemas merely because the route supports an optional client `fields` projection—optional field selection alone is not a reason to change schema strictness.

Proposed changes (including videos or screenshots)
REST response validation for the API only runs under test, and it passes today for the wrong reason:
typia9.7.2 emits open object schemas (noadditionalProperties: false), so AJV silently accepts fields the response types never declared. Once typia moves to closed schemas, the server's own chat message responses would start failing validation.This PR reconciles that type drift for the message cluster (
IMessage+chat.*). Each leaked field is handled by its true nature rather than one blanket mechanism:editedAt/editedBy→ added to the baseIMessagetype. These are persisted on the record and consumed by clients (the "edited" indicator), so they belong on the type.IEditedMessagealready narrows them to required, so it is unaffected. This clears the drift forchat.getMessage,chat.update,chat.postMessage, andchat.sendMessage.score→ modeled via a newIMessageSearchResulttype.chat.searchattaches a MongoDB$meta: 'textScore'relevance score on$textqueries (parseMessageSearchQuery). It is response-only (never persisted) and consumed by the search UI, so it is expressed asIMessageSearchResult extends IMessage { score?: number }, registered with typia and$ref'd fromchat.search. Modeling it this way (rather than an inlineallOf) means the field survives schema closing — anallOf: [IMessage, { score }]would be rejected by a closedIMessagebranch.parseUrls→ no longer persisted. It is a transient input directive consumed byMessage.beforeSaveto decide whether to populatemessage.urls; it was being left on the object and written to MongoDB bysendMessage, so it leaked into every endpoint that reads such a message. It is now deleted before insert, fixing the drift at the source (and improving data hygiene).Tests:
apps/meteor/server/api/messageResponseDrift.spec.ts) that forces the generatedIMessage/IMessageSearchResultschemas closed and asserts realistic wire-format payloads validate with no undeclared fields.chat.postMessageintegration assertion that a posted message's response does not echoparseUrls.Scope note: this PR intentionally covers only the message cluster. The response-envelope drift (
success/isClientSafe), the systemic nullable-rendering issue (~196 component types), and the persistedtextfield onchat.syncMessagesare tracked separately under the same issue.Issue(s)
Closes #42086
Steps to test or reproduce
yarn turbo run build --filter=@rocket.chat/core-typings.chat.postMessage): posting a message withparseUrlsreturns200and the responsemessagehas noparseUrlsproperty.Before this change, an edited message, a
chat.searchhit with ascore, or a message posted withparseUrlsall carry fields absent from their declared response types — accepted only because the generated schemas are open.Further comments
allOfforscore: an inlineallOf: [{ $ref: IMessage }, { properties: { score } }]passes only whileIMessageis open. Under a closedIMessage, the referenced branch rejectsscore(AJV'sadditionalPropertiesdoes not see siblingallOfproperties). A dedicated typia-registered superset type generates a single schema that includesscoreand stays valid when schemas close.parseUrlsinsendMessagerather than in the handler: stripping it only in thechat.postMessageresponse would leave the field in the database, so it would still leak fromchat.getMessage,chat.search, etc. Removing it before persist fixes it everywhere.editedAt/editedByto the base type instead of stripping: they are genuine, persisted domain fields the client relies on; stripping would break the edited-message UI.Summary by CodeRabbit
parseUrlsinput directive is no longer stored or returned in message responses.parseUrlshandling across chat endpoints.
